Ardèche Loisirs Mécaniques

In Grospierres, in the southern Ardèche, Ardèche Loisirs Mécaniques unfolds 700 metres of outdoor track right next to Vallon-Pont-d'Arc and the Ardèche Gorges. The site benefits from a rural setting characteristic of the southern Ardèche : Mediterranean garrigue, the first Cévennes foothills, orchards, and stone perched villages. It's a particularly lively address during the summer season, when campsite holidaymakers look for a different activity between two canoe descents on the Ardèche.

The 700-metre open-air layout alternates fast sections and technical corners under the warm southern Ardèche light. Conditions shift with Mediterranean weather : faster and drier in high summer, more demanding during Cévennes storms when the grip changes abruptly. Several kart engine sizes are available depending on driver level, from entry-level models for younger drivers to punchier versions for regulars chasing timed sessions. With sessions starting at €12, the rate stays accessible for campsite holidaymakers. The site regularly hosts birthday parties, summer-season stag and hen parties, and group events.

Grospierres is ten minutes from Vallon-Pont-d'Arc, 25 from Aubenas, and an hour from Avignon. The region offers plenty to fill a week: canoe descent on the Ardèche, the Chauvet 2 cave (UNESCO replica of the painted cave), Ardèche Gorges and their viewpoints, the Coiron plateau, or a detour through southern Ardèche perched villages (Balazuc, Vogüé, Labeaume). A solid option for holidaying families looking for a different activity.
